Ok... to fix your market, you need to flash this Beta 2.

http://code.google.com/p/ice-cream-sandwich-sgs/downloads/list

That will also fix your Media crash when you plug in to you computer.

It also fixed pixel DPI, and auto sets it to 240.

Apps that say they are incompatible, means that the app maker needs to update to be compatible with ICS. Nothing to do with the ROM and nothing you can do.

As for Google Currents, I just downloaded it last night, installed, and it runs fine on my phone. Actually kinda like the app.

Summarize: I would flash to stock, wipe everything, reflash kernel first, flash ROM, reboot into CWM, flash ROM again, then flash kernel again. If you use above ROM, all should be fixed. Also, make sure you have Beta 2 kernel.

[Captivate Android Development] stone_phalanges:
Hey, I'm having a problem where the phone works nearly flawlessly save a few market hiccups, but after I reboot a few times the stability degrades the the point where I get constant fc's and eventually a bootloop. I cleared data and factory reset (much as I didn't want to) and it seemed to fix everything, but again after a few reboots it becomes massively unstable.

Is anyone getting anything similar? Is there something I have likely done wrong to cause this? (or is never rebooting the phone again the likely solution)

I would love to have this working the way it does before I reboot it a few times I might even use this over the galaxy s2.

Hmm for some reason i am not able to reach my external sd card, it just doesn't recognize it. However i took it off and plugged into my pc and it was working wonders. Any clues? Just tried reflashing both rom and kernel and wiped data/cache also while doing it...

edit: found it inside mnt\emmc, something like that... nvm ;)

edit 2: pictures from my external sdcard won't show on the gallery, same happens with mp3s that won't show in music, any thoughts?

+1 Google Currents breaking market downloads.

Tried rebooting multiple times, clearing Market data, clearing Downloads data, wiping cache/Dalvic, basically everything I could short of wiping data.

Uninstalled Google Currents and IMMEDIATELY the flood gates opened and market apps started downloading and installing. Coincidence? I think not. Too bad, I kind of liked the app too.

No issues with DemonWav's work at all. Rom is running great!

That said, I do have an issue with ICS itself. Does anyone else think the end call button layout is awful? If the person on the other end hangs up first, when I go to press the end call there must be a split second delay, so by the time I actually touch the screen I end up tapping one of my contacts and calling them. Maybe I just got too used to Gingerbread layout? Is there a way to force the phone to return to the dialer screen after a call is ended instead of contacts or call log?

Anyway, if that's my biggest complaint then I would say life is good.

Not really. A while back they said they were working on updates. Besides that it runs so smoothly what is there to say! This is the best experience I have had on Captivate and I have owned it since its arrival.

flashing

Featured Updated Today (46 minutes ago) by Raymondd...@gmail.com

DO NOT FLASH FROM STOCK. If you flash from anything other than cm7 or a previous beta of ics,you will not be helped because you didn't RTFM.

That being said,if you did try to flash from stock,you're probably bootlooping right now. odin to stock and try again.

Instructions for flashing (now universal for all devices): Start with CM7 or a previous ICS build (ours or teamhacksung doesn't matter)

1)Boot to recovery.

2)wipe data/factory reset (its not really necessary but you get some weird issues if you don't wipe,so if you plan on bugging us about it,wipe first)

3)flash the rom

4)reboot.

4a)if you successfully boot then you're done. 4b)if you did not successfully boot after a few minutes or your phone is looping to recovery and trying again,proceed to step 5.

5)Battery pull then boot back to recovery,flash again,then boot.

Comment by project member Raymondd...@gmail.com, Today (43 minutes ago)

Once you flash the rom,please wait about 2 minutes before freaking out because you don't have signal,it takes a minute to connect.
[Captivate Android Development] BigMc71:
I had these exact same symptoms when I went to the original Beta1. I had to copy my original /efs file back into the system filess and the problem went away.
[Captivate Android Development] Rabidaries:
Should I flash all over again to get signal? I flashed from cm7, and did all installations and perquisites and still says please turn off airplane mode when trying to dial. It is off and still no signal. Been running more than 15 mins. Any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] talleywhacker:
Yes

[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
One thing I can tell you, after flashing Beta 2.5.1, if you restore your data part of the nandroid, you get stuck at the boot animation. Going to reflash and start over. Before I tried to restore data, my 3g connected right away.

Also, the boot animation is WEAK [but not a big deal, I can change it].
[Captivate Android Development] cnu4u:
I updated to 2.5.1 and still unable to update apps.. not sure if it's still an issue
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
That was fixed on "newer" Beta 2. All worked for me.
[Captivate Android Development] cnu4u:
Is Newer beta 2 means 2.5.1?
[Captivate Android Development] Rabidaries:
My market is working like a charm now. I didn't do any nandroid and not running into any issues other than the airplane mode staying on disabling my network. Very nice update tho!
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
No, there was original Beta 2 awhile back, then a five days ago or so, there was a new release of Beta 2 with some fixes.

---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

Just completed flashing Beta 2.5.1 and doing a Titanium Backup on a few core apps. Everything is working great so far. About to change batteries and clear battery stats. Market works great [did from orginal beta 2], 3g works fine [though I don't use data], wifi works, never had the datadata problem so I can't confirm that it is fixed. Ummm, what else... not sure, but everything looks good.

[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
I did, not sure if it would be recommended. Probably is though, usually is for a flash.
[Captivate Android Development] modest_mandroid:
I flashed without wiping; only wiped cache and dalvik cache. No problems so far other than the usual bugs that were present in beta 2.
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
Anyone having a problem on 2.5.1 with the gallery? Its eating my battery and it seems that with sync disabled, the cache size keeps getting bigger. I had 312 MB of cache so cleared it and deleted the folder to make it zero and within 5 minutes I was at 23 MB with sync still disabled...
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
The only problem I am having with 2.5.1 is that even though Root Explorer sees my SD card, Gallery and Music [Winamp or google music] do not. Beta 2 did. Other than that, all works fine.

[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
Check out the Corn kernel thread, posts #765,770 for a similar issue. The OP, mtcarey, said in #770, that he 'just removed most of the standard vfat mount options and let the kernel itself figure it out'. I had this same issue til I flashed his update and now it's fixed! Maybe this will help point in the right direction????
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
Well, I read from 760 or so through the end. What I gathered from it, was I needed to flash that kernel. I don't thin that I want to flash that kernel because the kernel for this version of ICS works great, just the media issue. And that issue has nothing to do with the kernel. I am using the same kernel that I was using with Beta 2, so it would seem to me, that somewhere between beta 2 and 2.5.1... something got messed up. All worked in beta 2.

Just my thoughts.
[Captivate Android Development] caulton:
do anyone think they can get a cappy version of the 2.5.5 release it fixed the mounting problems?:o
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
Not sure what you are refering to... 2.5.5 release?

---------- Post added at 11:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 AM ----------

DemonWav or anyone else that knows...

does Beta 2.5.1 have it's one kernel attached to it? Or should we still be using Beta 2 captivate kernel. I only ask because I noticed in the OP that there is no mention of kernel in the flash instructions or mention of kernel in the downloads. Appreciate any answers, thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
I didn't mean you should switch kernels, just what was done with a similar problem. An idea that might help resolve your problem possibly. Idk, just throwing it out there.
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
Gotchya... I am trying to figure out if 2.5.1 comes with a kernel attached to it, if so, that could be my problem. Since I flashed beta 2 kernel over 2.5.1 it could be messing up some stuff. I appreciate the help, didn't try to sound rude. Sorry if I did. :)
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
It has everything included, no need to flash anything else.
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
Thank you, that probably explains my media problem.
[Captivate Android Development] bearnakedbrew:
Will I be able to return to cm7 from this? I would really like to try it but need an escape plan ;)
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
Well, I reflashed without falshing a kernel. Still doesn't recognize media, but it can see it through root explorer. :confused: Not a huge deal, but would be nice to figure out why it worked on Beta 2 and not working now on Beta 2.5.1.
[Captivate Android Development] Rabidaries:
I noticed my battery life dropped a little. Now I get gingerbread battery life which isn't bad. But was at 48% after 4 1/2 hours. Last beta had 8+ hours and 28% just an observation. Also if I download a widget from market, it doesn't show in widget list unless I reboot. Now sure if that's normal.

Things are crashing, market isnt connecting even tho i get 3g and home key is useless.

[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
I know that this probably goes without saying, but did you wipe all data and partition cache before flashing?
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
yes before, than flashed, than again, reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
I have no idea, mine works great. Only thing I can suggest is to flash to stock and start from scratch. I know this seems to be the answer for everything, but anytime I have had any major problems with ICS that is what I did and it seemed to fix.
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
In case anyone needs it. I modified the build.prop so I can be able to access all the apps in the 10 cents deal from the market. I noticed that some apps I bought today like Backstab HD were not able to install to my phone so I edited to match how KB1 looked with the keys from KK4. It works for me so far without any issues that I can tell so far. I have no restrictions for any app that supports the Captivate.

Copy and paste this portion into the build.prop and then clear market cache and reboot.

I updated from Alpha 6 by doing the multiple flashes but I cannot get past the boot screen. I used Clockwork Recovery to do the initial install, but now I cannot get back to recovery mode. It being stuck at the kernel, I also cannot issue adb commands.

I've tried ODIN and other bits in download mode but it continually says it cannot access my device. I've been tinkering with the bastard for hours and still have not gotten past that damn puffer fish. If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate it.

Posted this in the issues page on the wiki as well:

I came from A6 with the Captivate kernel, most everything working. Installed A7(i9000 version) and the i9000 update kernel. Everything worked really well(except the known issues). Rebooted into CWM to install the Captivate kernel, I then lost 3 button to recovery(download mode worked fine). I Flashed to stock, master cleared, and installed the latest Captivate A7. Had no data, when I input the APN, it wouldnt stick, checked my SIM lock, it was locked, and I could not get it unlocked. Again lost recovery mode, I tried vol+/vol- power, and vol+ power. No luck. Again Recovery mode was ok.

Flashed back to stock/mc loaded A6 with Cap kernel, life is good again
